WARNING:
lNever get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands to
support the frame when you have to get under the vehicle.
lPlace wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
lAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
lIt is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage during towing opera-
tion. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
lAlways attach safety chains before towing.
lWhen towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
lNever tow an automatic transmission model from the rear
(i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may
cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
4X2 MODEL
NISSAN does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
lWhen towing with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the
ignition key to the OFF position and move the transmission
selector lever to N (neutral) position, turn the ignition key to
OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straight
ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place
the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result in
damage to the steering lock mechanism.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
AGI077
Speed : Below 50 km/h (30 MPH)
Distance : Less than 65 km (40 miles)

TOW TRUCK TOWING
4X4 MODEL
NISSAN does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:
lWhen towing with the front wheels on the ground or rear
wheels on the ground (If you do not use towing dollies):
Set the free-running hubs to the free position and move the
transfer case shift lever into the “2H” position.
lWhen towing with the front on the ground: Turn the ignition
key to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a
straight ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never
place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result
in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
TOWING POINT
CAUTION:
Never tow the vehicle using only the towing points. To avoid
damaging the vehicle body, use proper towing equipment when
towing.
Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle)EAS001DJ
lTow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle.
lPulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake
or cooling systems
lAlways pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle. Never pull the vehicle at a
sideways angle.
lPulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use for vehicle towing or
recovery.Speed : Below 50 km/h (30 MPH)
Distance : Less than 65 km (40 miles)
